Nashville Game Developers

We're a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of game development in Middle Tennessee. We host regular events and maintain a community where developers can share, learn and grow.

Nashville Game Developers is run by a group of volunteers, and all of our events are free to attend. If you'd like to help support NashGameDev, you can make a donation via PayPal. We're a 501(c)(3) non-profit, so donations are tax-deductable. All contributions are much appreciated!

Meet

We host monthly meetups centered around various game development topics. We do talks, workshops, demo days and sometimes parties!

If you'd like to give a talk or have an idea for an event, let us know!

Work

We get together several times a month to work on our projects, usually in a café or coffee shop. We call these Work & Plays.

These are useful for playtesting, getting feedback, working through problems, talking about gamedev and socializing!

Jam

We host game jams, where paticipants are challenged to make a game in a short period of time, usually over a weekend.

The biggest one we do every year is the Global Game Jam.

These events are a great way to get into game development or to try something new.

Discuss

We talk about game development with each other in person, through our Discord, and in our Facebook Group.
